Elroy and the Aliens is a fun, old-school point-and-click adventure game, which was made by Slovenian indie studio Motiviti, and released on Steam on April 2. The game is hand-drawn and feels like a classic, similar to beloved games like Day of the Tentacle or Space Quest. If you enjoy these kinds of games, you’ll love this one.
Elroy and the Aliens takes place in an alternate 1993. You play as Elroy Deluna, a clever rocket engineer who loves fixing things, and Peggie Wolfe, a bold reporter who craves excitement. The story starts in the small town of Slope City, where Elroy’s rocket test fails, crashing into his apartment and revealing a strange device. The device shows a hologram hinting that Elroy’s father, a famous archaeologist who disappeared 18 years ago, might still be alive.
What starts as a search for the truth turns into a wild space adventure. You’ll explore two planets, visit 60 different places, and meet over 60 characters, all with full voice acting, including some funny alien. The game asks a simple but powerful question: How far would you go to save someone you love? Motiviti mixes this emotional story with humor, ancient secrets, and fun pop-culture references. You’ll switch between playing as Elroy and Peggie. Together, they uncover a huge space mystery linked to the strange Haani Pentagon, mixing sci-fi adventure with a cool ‘90s feel.
The gameplay sticks to classic point-and-click style, and that’s a good thing. You’ll explore colorful hand-drawn locations, collect items, and combine them to solve puzzles. Some puzzles are easy, while others will really make you think, but they’re always fair. One of the best challenges involves figuring out an alien language, it’s tough but fun, and doesn’t drag on too long. If you get stuck, just click on objects to hear helpful comments from Elroy or Peggie. There’s even an optional highlight feature that shows clickable areas, so you’ll never waste time searching for hidden spots.
